here are some videos of stamp carving process....
it is labor intensive. making templates > transferring designs on rubber blocks > carving them to cleaning them > testing > readjusting > cleaning!
i particularly enjoy carving letters.
one of my favorite fonts is typewriter font. there are 3 sizes i carry in my shop ( i only make them as custom made as it takes a while ).
there are several other fonts i am planning to carve and list in m shop this year.

i recently got some questions how i clean pencil marks after carving or remained inks after stamping. there are several means.

i personally use :

makeup remover, make up cotton pads, soap water + air dry.

there are lots of stamp cleaning supplies available :

stamp cleaner (liquid ones for water based inks and oil based inks)

kneaded eraser designed for cleaning stamps

stamp scrubber (soft micro fiber attached to the pads)

the body shop's body butter, soap water + air dry

hand carved rubber stamps are made from soft rubber...so cleaning as gentle as possible is important to keep it in good condition.
